		<title>Existentialism and Phenomenology: an incredibly brief introduction</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If one wants a thorough explanation of existentialism one must have some background in the less popularized field, phenomenology. For the most part, existentialism is a movement that developed out of phenomenology, but what is it? Developed in the early 20th century, phenomenology is (brace yourselves) the study of the structures of human consciousness from [...]]]></description>

		<title>Berkeley&#8217;s Idealism: God has it covered</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Bishop George Berkeley is known as one of the three great British empiricists and for first proposing one of the most interesting and unique ideas in philosophy. What if everything wasn&#8217;t really what it seemed? What if the so called matter you were walking on was nothing more than an idea? Sounds like an [...]]]></description>

		<title>Aristotelian Ethics: Doing Good, and Feeling Good doing it</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Aristotle was an ancient Greek philosopher who lived from 384 to 322 BCE. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest figures in the history of philosophy, with treatises spanning all the way from aesthetics to metaphysics. However, he is perhaps best known for his ethical system, which he expounds in the Nicomachean [...]]]></description>

		<title>The JTB Account and The Gettier Problem</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Knowledge is traditionally defined in philosophy as Justified True Belief. The truth condition is necessary because it seems impossible to know something false; for instance, I may believe that I am an extraterrestrial, but philosophers don&#8217;t want to say that I know it. The belief condition is, of course, necessary because philosophers want to avoid [...]]]></description>

		<title>Duty to Survive</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve often noticed the contempt people express for those who kill themselves, but have been struck by its restriction to the abstract. In other words, you hear people condemning &#8220;people who commit suicide&#8221;, but rarely do you hear them condemn a particular person for the act.  Perhaps this is merely a reflection of social tact, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Death Note and Philosophy: Light Yagami and The Will To Power</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Death Note is an astounding anime overflowing with moral controversy and existential ambiance. It follows the story of an incredibly intelligent, disinterested young man known as Light Yagami, who I will talk about almost exclusively (at least on this post ). Light receives a power that gives him the ability to kill people using a notebook. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Continental vs. Analytic</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the 20th century, the field of philosophy was under going some big changes. Science was playing a big role in the world and caused a big change here in America and in England. Other countries were rejecting this scientific view dividing the field of philosophy down the middle. This division amongst philosophers lead to a stylistic change in the way [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Regress Argument tnemugrA ssergeR ehT</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The regress argument (or the argument of infinite regress) is a philosophical concern held in epistemology. The worry follows from the structure that we use to arrive at justified beliefs, namely that every conclusion requires a premise. In other words, when you ask someone how he/she arrived at a given conclusion you expect them to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Skepticism?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Skepticism refers to a school of thought categorized by rational doubt. In philosophy, the type of skepticism usually referenced is epistemic skepticism, which is what we will focus on here. This consists in doubting that we have knowledge about the world; in fact, it can even be viewed as asserting that we can&#8217;t have knowledge [...]]]></description>
